Cashmere Shawls.
Mr. John B. Ireland, ol Neff York, when in Cast) -
mere, a lew years since, visited Mookti Slmh. poo
is the best and greatest manufacturer of shawls In
that city. The factory wus a miserable, dirty
building; the work room measuring about sixty
by thirty leet. Here he found some forty men
and boys of all ages, from six to fifty, arranged In
twos and threes, at ditfereut looms, each one having a loom to himself: for all the most valuable
shawls are Rl&ae iu looms, in small pieces, according to the patterns, and then sewed together. The
pattern is not put in colors ami squares like oiir
patterns of worsted-work for chair backs, seats, or
slippers, but Ibe directions are written. When
tbe patterns are mid.: th-y are all sewed to ere th jr.
At some looms in operation there appeared to be
faur or five hundred small pins of wood, with rolls
of different shades af woollen thread, to be used
in different parts'^ tbe pattern. It was astonishing to see the dex erity with which tbe stnall
childreu worked these haud looms, and understood
their written directions.
Most of the people were at work on a mignifi
cent shawl for the Empress Eugenie of France. It
had a white ground or centre, and would be the
most elegant specimen of cmhmere work Mook ti
Shah ever produced. He told Mr. Ireland that
thirty men had been steadily at work on it for six
months, and that it wouhl require three months
to finish it. That is, 8 "lofl days' work were bestowed
on this oueshawl. Tbe price »hen finished would
be about 1,31)0 rupees, or $650, Such a ebawl
would sell tor about S4,000 iu Loudon or New
York.
